The Scattering of Ashes
Usually, throwing a whole shitload of genres together and trying to make them stick is a fool's errand. You either come across as a needlessly showoffy musical dilettante, being difficult for its own sake, or you just make a big unlistenable mess with something to alienate everyone. That's why it's...October 16, 2006

Sacrament
Consistency has been the name of the game for Richmond, Virginia's LAMB OF GOD. As one of the undisputed leaders of the American metal movement, expectations have always run high for the band to top its last release and so far LAMB OF GOD has risen to the challenge.
